VPN technology (Virtual Private Network) enables mobile and remote users to set
up secure connections to the company main office network. The advantage of VPN access
is that a user with the VPN connection to the company network can work in the same
network environment as if the computer is directly connected to the local network on the
work place. To create such connections, user just needs Internet access: dial-up, DSL, or
cable; and there is no need to perform long-distance calls or rent data transfer channels.
